2. --article continued from page 1--
against God in letter to the church in Corinth? Not in the
least! Paul is simply stating that having God as your
companion is far more needed than that of any earthly
relationship (Matthew 10:32-39). The Hebrew writer
(Largely believed to be Paul) emphasized how that
“marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled”
(Hebrews 13:4). One must not compromise self-esteem
to ever win a spouse. It should be the case that our
spouse, or prospective spouse, encourages and elevates
our self-esteem. That is the true companionship that we
need and that is the true companionship that God offers
to all who follow Him (John 10:10).
Finally, we all need FORGIVENESS. We all
find ourselves having weak moments. Temptations are
everywhere and we need not forget that those temptations
that torture us the most, stem from our own lusts that
“war in our members” (James 4:1). James said that we
are tempted when we are drawn away of our own lusts
and enticed (James 1:14). The fact that we have our own
lusts and that we often give in to those lusts, lets each one
of us know the real need we have to be forgiven. Jesus
came to make that forgiveness available to all who will
obey Him (Hebrews 5:8, 9). We need salvation (the
forgiveness of sin) because our sins separate us from the
companionship that we had with the Almighty. We need
forgiveness of sin because without it we cannot have the
true self-esteem found only in the body of Christ. John
wrote it this way, “But if we walk in the light, as He is in
the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the
blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin”
(1John 1:7). We should see in this verse how all of our
needs are met. What do you need?

Family Fellowship
Don’t forget that our
first “Family Fellowship”
will be held this Sunday,
May 26 from 8:15-8:45
a.m. in the multipurpose
room before worship services. Everyone in the
congregation is invited to come and enjoy a brief
period of Christian fellowship before we begin our
worship services. Donuts, fruit, juice & coffee will be
provided. Come and draw closer to your church
family!
Sympathy
Our sympathy is extended to Mark Hitt & Lori
Sheffield in the loss of their grandmother, Sarah
Grubbs, on May 16. Funeral services were held May
18 in New Albany.
Ladies’ Day
The North Hillcrest congregation in Aberdeen will
host a Ladies’ Day this Saturday, May 25 with Cathy
Turner & Darlene Fears speaking on “Living Godly in
an Ungodly World” (Titus 2:11-12). Registration will
begin at 9:00 a.m.
Thank You Notes
To our church family at East Main Church of Christ,
Thank you from the bottom of the Laney family’s
heart for the beautiful plant that you sent to us in the
passing of our loved one, Jody Laney.
We feel blessed to have always had a loving
church family in our lives. We will be forever
grateful how thoughtful you have been thru the years.
You are genuine! You are wonderful! Love in Christ,
The Laneys
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear faithful Ladies,
Thank you so much for a wonderful Ladies’ Day. I
enjoyed it so much. The speaker, prayers, songs, food
and friendship was great. Thank Patsy for the
pineapple cake. It and all the food were good. God
bless you all, and keep you safe, healthy, and happy.
In Christian love,
Anna Yancey
